Active center (polymer science)
An active center (sometimes called active site or kinetic-chain carrier) in polymer science refers to the site on a chain carrier at which reaction occurs.
IUPAC definition
The site on a chain carrier at which reaction occurs.
Note: In the Gold Book, the terms “active center” and “active site”
are defined with reference to heterogeneous catalysis and the term
“reactive site” is used within the definition of chain polymerization.
